Hi I'm looking to start a new grow but I'm looking for a strain that is a big yielder but resistant to mold, I recently grew feminised critical mass and lost roughly 15-20oz to budrot I was growing in bubblebox systems but I have now changed to soil does anyone know any good strains? Also is there some type of nutrient I can give that prevents budrot? Cheers

Your grow space is the problem. There is no such thing as a plant that is "resistant to mold'. Mold grows where there are spores and the conditions are right no matter what. They can grow on anything, anywhere if the conditions are right.

You need to remediate your grow area and get rid of the mold and the conditions that help it breed before you worry about doing another grow at all.

Thanks for the reply, I'm changing from 600w hps to Air cooled 600w hps, will this help prevent mold? I find that 600w hps create a humid environment

No.

No, it doesn't. The humidity is already there. It's actually the opposite: An HPS light helps dry out an area. Since you're not giving anybody any information at all, I am going to assume you're growing in a basement or a poorly insulated shed. Without a dehumidifier running round the clock, you have no hope of getting rid of your mold problem.

#1 you've got to have good ventilation/air exchange


In USA ??? Swami Organic Seeds, but they only send inside USA.

Swami/COOT/Nevils Original Release 88 NL5 x Hz is a big producer, and Ive never had, nor heard of a mold problem with this strain, but a lot of that also depends on atmospheric control..

This is also a really powerful strain, and is to much for many people. This strain originally came with a warning, and still does.

I just refound this strain 2 months ago, after losing it in 1997 to the cops/feds. I had it since 91, and was the best stuff Id seen since the 70s, and up until tis day.

Heavy Lung Buster. Expands like none other, and every hit you know youre going to cough. Everything the male of this strain is bred to, it becomes dominate, and adds strength to anything you breed it with.

Swami also has another you may be interested in, but doesn't produce quite as much on average, but some plants do equal the NL5/Hz

Blue Orca Haze.

Its a cross of a PreSoviet 1971 Kandahar Afghani Female x 1976 Dealers Choice Thai Stck Male x Nevils 88 NL5/Hz. Its not as hard on the lungs nor as paranoia inducing, but potentially more potent vs NL5/Hz. Just not as Trippy, and easier on the lungs.

Sorry should of said firstly where I'm growing. I'm growing in an insulated room. I have 3 rvk fans 420m3/h sucking air in from outside the room (outside the building) I also have 3 extraction fans 1 600m3/h another 600m3/h and lastly a 3000m3/h acoustic fan. Is there any issue with my setup? The room is 4m length 3m width and 2m high

If you're sucking air in from outside the building, then the room isn't insulated. That's probably your problem: the outside air is humid as hell.

I can't believe you don't have a humidity gauge that tells you that. It's 10 bucks for Pete's sake. Get one.

Your humidity should never get above 55%. If it does, you're begging for mold. What you may wind up doing is a smaller grow in a tent in that room. Stop using outside air, use a tent, do smaller grows, put a dehumidifier in the room to dry the air out and simply circulate that inside the tent and back out through a carbon filter to keep the smell down.

If you're going to use outside air, you might as well grow outside and take your chances. Pumping outside air inside is essentially creating a mold factory.

wrong,some strains are more resistent to bud rot than others.
i had a strain that always used to get some bud rot even when airflow and humidity was kept in check
other strains grown in the same room with it were fine tho.
so yes some strains have better resistance than others.

also some strains have a better resistance to bugs and desease.

You got to get your humidity down. Get it down in the 30% range and that will help a lot. 40% range will work.

Add uv to the grow. Get some single bulb t5 lights and some uv bulbs. Uv helps prevent the growth of mold.

Air movement. Plenty of it. If the outside air is humid you will have to remedy that.

Some strains are more resistant than other but if your grow room parameters are out of whack the strain doesn't matter.

he's clearly talking about rot and not pm,hence why he mentioned big yeilder and bud rot,,,,so i think you need to learn to read.
and even if he did mean pm,the same still applies.
Wrong.

God damnit why can't people read anymore?!

The guy asked for "mold resistant strains" in the first part of his statement. I commented simply that there's really no such thing as mold resistant strains because mold will grow, quite literally, ANYWHERE. That is the ONLY part of his post I commented on.

Never once did I mention bud rot. Other shit can cause that. I spoke ONLY about a mold problem. I never once addressed bud rot, never discussed it, never commented on it.

So quoting my post and then talking about bud rot makes you a fucking idiot because there is NOTHING in ANY POST I MADE CONCERNING BUD ROT.

Go back and read about 10 fucking times you dipshit. Maybe you'll FINALLY get it.

Like you say mold will grow anywhere if conditions are right as spores are quite literally everywhere and our enemy is botrytis, or bud rot, usage of a dehumidifier works amazing as they are pretty cheap to run at 200w and almost eradicates the mold issue without having to use Ozone, O3 so on.

You do realize that bud rot is mold right? Wow you're stupid.
When I hear Bud rot I think of it being caused by bud worms and works from the inside out. Where as mould typically starts on the outside in my grows, typically from humidity issues. The OP kind of confused things imo by mentioning both issues. You guys need to chill, why so angry lol.
